Copy of a Letter from Major-General Gm NES to the Governor of Georgia, dat,d at Fort Scott, near the confluence of the Flint and Chatahoochie Itiverr, 21st of November " SI it,—The fiat brigade of United States troops arrived at this place on the 19/11 inst. I had previo,:sly sent a ninth r to notify the Fowl Town Chief En- he- munt • hy, of my arrival, anti to ascertain whether his hostile temper had abated, and trgaested hint to visit me He replied, that he had already said to the Continitetting Officer here, ail lie had to say, and that he would not Corm,. " He had warned Major Twigs not to cross, or cut a stick of wood on the east side of the Flint river; alleging that tile land is as his, that he was directed by the powers above and below , to protect and defend it, and he should do so This being the talk reterr,d to, and his town having continued to be hostile ever since the late kk and having participated, as thi• friendly Indians asserti in the prod ttory war carried on for some time past egainto the Georvai. howler, I yes terday detached '250 men, (sopposrd to be :ibotit the strength of the town). under the command rof Major Twiggs, with or .ers to bring to me the chief and warriors, and in the event of re,istaucc, to treat them as enemies. " The detachments arrived at the town early this morning, and were instantly fir,tl upon, huf without effect: The fire was Miskly returned by the detachment, and the Indians put to flight with the loss of four warriors slAiu, and, as there is reason to believe, many more wounded. Among the articles found in the house of the Chief, was a Manch uniform coat (scarlet), with a pair of gold epaulets, and a certificate, signed by a Bri tish Captalai of Marines, Robert White, in the absence of Colonel Nichols,' stating, that the Chief had always been a true and faithful friend to the-British. " The reports of friendly Indians concur in estimating the number of hostile . lndians, including the Red Sticks and Seminoles, at more th 9112,000, independent of die Blacks at and near Suwanney, within 120 miles of this place, amounting to nearly 400 men, and increasing by the addition of every runaway front Georgia able to get to them. The friendly Indians inform me that the hostile party anti Blacks have been promised a British force to assist them, from New Providence. The promise, though made by Nichols and Woodbine, is never theless 'relied on by these deluded wretches, who, have no doubt ,will sue for peace, as they find their hopes of British aid to be without foundation : have called the Militia front Fort Hawkins to this place ; and have directed Col. Brearly to confer with your Excellency upon the subject of an additional battalion for the protection of the frontier from Okmulgee to St. Mary's. _ _ " I have the hononr to be, Six. (Signed) " ED. P. G.-UNES, Maj.-Gen. Commanding." MuttnEß.—An Inquisition was taken yesterday at the Falcon, Sutton -street, St. Anne's, on the body of Elizabeth Evans, who was murdered by her husband, in Falconburgh-court, on Sunday last. '!here was no evidence in addition to that which appeared yesterday in the replrt from Al:tlbnrough•street Office, with the exception of Mr. Jennet, a medical man, who proved that the blows on the ball of the head, which had scalped the skull, were the cause of death ; and that of Mr. White, an undertaker, who put the deceased into cite coffin. The verdict was-...-" Wilful Min der against the Musband.". THE THEATRE. Last night a Tragedy, entitled The Point of Honour, .taken from a French Play, but very jit dicion•lv anapted, by Mr CHIELEs KEmnot, the English Stage, wail brought forward at Co vent-Garden Theatre. This Drama was originally represented at the Haymarket Theatre, .and is so interesting in itself, and affords 'rich ample scope for theatrical talents that, far from being sur prised at its revival at present, we rather wonder that it had Out before attracted' the notice of both Theatres. One of the motives for • its tiresent revival, we presume, was fur the purpose of allotting the part of Bertha to' Miss O'NEILL, whose pwers it is pvenliarly calculated to bring forward in the most impressive and interesting action. Such was the effect last night. She made a powerful appeal to the syin pathy of the audience, and had the full tribute of tneir sighs, their tears, and their apulause. The part at Durirnel could not he better assigned titan to CHARLES KEMBLE, %rho, doubly interested as the author acrd act or, exerted all his energies, aYlrl willt admirable success. The chdracter of St. Fratv received adrquate, and most effective sup port, in di g nity, .iudgment, and feeling, from YOUNG. awl ABBOTT was more than usually sue ce•sful ir. Valcuur, nor should LISTON and Airs. FAUCET he passed over, as they ably contributed to the general effect of the piece, particularly the fortner,whose quaint and original humour served to relieve the mind from too powerful art agitation, arising trout the pathetic and terrific complexion of the piece in general. The audience crowded the house to its extremities, and the piece was so well received, that shouts of triumphant congra tulation attended the announcement of its repe tition on Alonday. Mrti. MOUNTAIN, g 0 long and so justly admired for her musied and theatrical talents, gave a very charming Concert last night, as an opening of her new residence in Hammersmith Terrace. Mr. MaoisITAIN led, and gave, in the course of the evening, a fine solo tiu . the violin. Mr. SnuTz di'played admirable powers on the harp. TINNEY,• BROADHURST, and a Mr. Cantu, gratified the audience with vocal performances. Mrs. MuuN TAIN exerted her musical powers in such a manner as to afford very great pleasure, and to excite much regret that F. be so hastily retired from public life, at a time when she Hever was in better possession of her talents. Nothing could exceed the cour teous attention of the host and hostess. The whole was well selected, agreeably diversified, and. highly gratifying to many at the most re spectable visitors from the neighbourhood, as well as from the metropolis.

ELOPEMENT.—A letter from Boulogne-sur- Mer status, that on Tuesday Se'rmight, between. the hours of ten and eleven o'clock in the fore noon, notwithstanding the v►gilance of the French Police, who, it was understood, vteredirected to he on the alert, to prevent the circumstance be ing carried into effect, a gallant young Officer of a Avon Guards, cantoned in the vicinity of Calais, eloped with a lovely and accomplished young Lady, niece to a worthy Baronet well known in the West of England ; both in the dis guise of domestics to some friends who accompa nied them. On the following morning they were seen prosecuting their journey to the North of England, :Ind probably ere this the indissoluble knot is tier!. Nova;. Huts:T.—On Monday morning, about ten. o'clock, a fine deer was tinned not near Slough, attendA by a numerous field of Gentle men Sportsmen ; the deer sheaved great sport, taking acres• the enclosures. towards Stoke, Dropn►ore Hill, and Hedsor, taking down the bill towards.Cookham, where he crossed the Thames; by this time very few Sportsmen were up ; taking towards Maidenhead, where he crossed the Thatnes a second time into Buckinghamshire. The deer was taken by Dawt►ey Common, near Etou, after a run of nearly three hours. BILL Soames.—Yesterday this well-known cha racter Wii3 brought to Bow-street, charged with haviog been connected with the Strand robbers, in the month of September last, who infested the vicinity of Somerset-house and Catherine -street, to the annoyance and terror of the inhabitants and passengers. :_ioatues had ever since chided the vigilance of the officers in pursuit of him, being concealed at Ratcliffe-highway till Tuesday even iitg last. Oddey then apprehended him in the gal lery of the Surrey Theatre. Mr. Hu;Ks, the. Magistrate, teas about to commit Stymies as a reputed thief, when two persons stood forward to bail him. Davies, the first bail, said he was a !tacker and cat's meat man, and lived in the Bo rough-road, but confessed he knew nothiof , in favour of the prisoner. Young, the second refused to be interrogated, and the Magistrate, of course, rejected their joint security.

This WAS a petition by the plaintiff, Mrs. Smith, to an order of the Court, to remove her husband, Mr. Thotnr►s Smith, a l►juatic, trout the custody of his mother, and to restore him to the care anti protection of the Petitioner. It appeared that a commission of lunacy had lbeen obteiued by the petitioner against her hus band, Mr. Thomas Smith, and thit a new com mission was afterwards applied for by Mr. Smith's tfCColint .of some ailedg,ed matrimonial obiections. In the mean time, however, the remained under the care of his wile, at Ala merst, iu CardigAnshire. On the 4th of Oetoher• the paitioner, with her husband, wear to Lao stephAn, whure she had taken a house, but went for sonic tirniture, leaving bin) under the care of servants. During her absence, however, the mother and brother of the lunatic got posses sion of his person, and carried him away with them to Swansea, on the pretence. that the de ranged state of his mind rendered that situation so unsafe fur him, that on one occasion he was very near to drowning himself in the. sea, from which fate he was only saved by extraordinary exertions of the servants. Under those circumstances the petitioner prayed that the care and custody of her husband might; be restored to her. The application was resisted on the part of the mother, on the ground of affidavits by Doctor Hawes and others, staling that the condition of mental and bodily health in which the lunatic then was would render his removal dangerous. Sir S. ROMILLY was Counsel in support of the petition, and Mr. HART against it. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he should take home the affidavits and read them with care, pie. virus to his forming a decision in the case.— Judgment of course suspended.
